Forestbound Sentinel – Belgian Malinois Forest Hex

Forestbound Sentinel places the Belgian Malinois in its natural role as guardian of the forest within a Settlers of Catan–inspired hex tile series.

The original artwork was created using Stuart Semple Super Base and White 2.0 acrylic paint, refined with POSCA paint pens, and sealed with a mattifying varnish. The piece was then digitized and enhanced in Snapseed and Procreate to create a print-ready version.

This work is part of my Acrylic April challenge, where each tile pairs a dog breed with a Catan resource.
